    In the 1960s ...in Northern Maine...
    My 15yo brother and I would set out every day accross the potato fields with a set of matched octangle barrel Winchester 30-30s
    He the long riffle ...13yo me the carbine.
    They were damn accurate by our reckoning with our collective families armory of many 30-06s 30-30s 7mm, (an Italian Mauser) ( my favorite for shooting rats at the dump after dark...for the muzzle flash) a Japaneese 303s
    (You could smell coconut on the bayonet) (this held special interest to my Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, Okinawa 2 Purple Heart from 303s father ..speaking of which...we also had an MQ Garamd and a by the by a Model 1911
    45 Automatic... that I could field dress at 13yo.
    But...I digress....
    We loved our Winchesters....
    We were Marshall Dillion and Ben Cartwright rolled into one. ...
    We shot everything that moved...
    Then one day I blew a porcupine out of a poplar tree.... walked over...put another round in his head ..... never killed anything since.
    I grew up with guns... maybe after a life time of never being interested in them enough to buy one ... I'd rather buy a fiddle or guitar for that kind of money but if I did get the hankering I'd love to have that little Winchester back.
    PS ...Take yer AR 15s and shove them as far up your ass as it will go.
    You never had gramps late night lectures while I sat on stacks of Shooters Bible while he handloaded all the cartridges for half of Aroostook County ....
    Your from South of Bangor and it shows.
    You learned firearm culture from
    Jerry Springer....far as I can tell.
